Camila Vallejo, the former university representative, the new elected to Congress

Chilean presidential and parliamentary elections took place last Sunday. And I found a new which tells us about Camila Vallejo election. She was elected to be part of the Congress as three other former university representatives, Karol Cariola, Giorgio Jackson and Gabriel Boric. She is the new representative from La Florida. The article remembers us about her strong participation in the student protests in 2011 when she was a Universidad de Chile student and leader of the Federation of students. The youngness is one of the other outstanding aspects the journalist mentions because he names her part of the new generation who is in politics and her international fame because of the 2011 student actions. The article also talks about her support to Michelle Bachelet campaign where she is part of the coalition, Nueva Mayoría and the clear victory Bachelet. However a second-round will have been done next month where, according to it, Bachelet will win. 

However it shows us the opposite position that says to have Melissa Sepúlveda the recently elected new head of the Universidad de Chile's student body. Melissa explains that the Congress is not the places to make changes and she wouldn't vote for any of the former university representative.
